You are not broken. You do not need to be fixed. Everything you are is enough. 

I can hear the cries of despair by some of you. But, what if this were true?

Everytime, without fail, when I am with someone during a session, I see who they are and I am in awe of their being. I see them in all their magnificence. 

Now to be truthful, this happens because I am working with loving energies who see only that. I, like many of you, can struggle to maintain that view when I am out in the world. However, it is getting easier and easier if I allow myself to see underneath the masks of being human on planet earth.

What if under all your so called brokeness is the real you struggling to unearth the treasures that you be? What if you are more than you allowed yourself to believe and when you begin to believe that all of your world will begin to change.

Change isn't always easy if we want it to look a certain way. What if it could unfold effortlessly and easily? What if they way it ends up is even better? It takes a little trust, some patience and a willingness to keep asking for the change and following the energies that show up. If health is an issue, just the right thing will show up for you. If it is relationships you may find a way into a better one or a new one. Keep asking questions and here are two to get you started that are great for any situation whether good or bad. How does it get better? What else is possible? (Courtesy of Access Consciousness)

Make sure you don't shut the door on change because it might be just what you wanted even if it is in disguise. 

So many people live their lives feeling like they don’t have the support they need.

What if you had it all along but you weren’t willing to receive what you need and you were afraid to ask for help?

I don’t know about you, but I was raised to be strong and self reliant. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good thing, but, the flip side is that I find it hard to ask for help, even when I need it. I may be cute but I am not always so bright!

Recently I have been allowing life to support me and asking for help. We are not meant to do this life alone. We have people in our life for a reason, sometimes we don’t even know them personally. Sometimes, they are there when you need them.

I started writing this post earlier today before I heard of the tragedy in Boston. So many people living out their dreams, pulling on everything they had to run that iconic marathon and without notice their world was changed forever. Whether they were in the midst of the chaos or not their lives were changed.

In their hour of need, strangers and family were there to support them and all they had to do was accept. It is easier to accept help when you are in the midst of tragedy and less so in our day to day lives. So, there was an opening of hearts that occurred today in Boston and around the country.

My wish is that the hearts stay open and do not shut down in fear of the what ifs. Fear is a dangerous thing to carry around. It shuts us down physically and emotionally whether it is personal to us or to a country. Living in fear is worse than what happens, whether it be Boston’s tragedy, 911 or closer to home. It is the what ifs that can stick us and stop us from moving forward.

But, what if, (smile) your life could change in a heartbeat and the sun shone, the birds sung and love prevailed. What if anything was possible, the good stuff?

The Group, who inspires me in my writing, when I let them, tells me that this is our best course of action. Focus on the love on our planet. There is far more of it than anything else, even in the chaos, most especially in the chaos. That is when our very essences rises up to the occasion. We have no time to think. Our hearts expand.

It is our thinking afterwards that gets us into trouble, the what ifs of the not so great kind.

Life on planet earth is full of different experiences and we are the only ones who can choose what they mean to us. We can choose love or we can choose fear.

I know what I choose. I refuse to be imprisoned in fear that is not of my making and so the only alternative open to me is love.

What about you? Will you choose love, over and over and over?

Will you share this writing and perhaps encourage another to choose love too?
It is a choice to stay in love.

As with all things-sometimes you just have to tweak things a little to get great results!

I baked a batch of biscuits from the Wheat Belly Cookbook. The two previous recipes were not quite to my taste. The recipes called for ground flaxseed-too much for my taste! What could I do to change this?

This time I decided to not use flaxseed and just up the amount of the other two flours (chickpea and almond). It worked beautifully! I ended up with a great biscuit to accompany my curried beef stew! 

Life can be like that-you just have to ask the question and be open to a little or a whole lot of tweaking until you get the desired results. The universe has your back but unless you ask a question it can't easily offer you up your solution!

What questions could you ask? How about

 "What is it going to take to change this?"  

"How do I do this?" 

"What energy, space and consciousness can I be to facilitate the change I want to see?"

"What next step do I need to take?"

As soon as you ask the universe puts the wheels in motion and an inspired thought will come to you (like how about I leave the flaxseed out and up the other flours) or someone will call you with a proposal or an e-mail will show up in in-box. Doors begin to open as long as you stay in the question!

Questions open up possibilities and judgments and conclusions shut them down. For instance, since I am not by nature a huge baker, I might have decided that the cookbook was correct and I couldn't do it any other way. I am glad I asked the question!

Wheat Free Biscuits-My Way

1 cup almond meal flour   
1 cup chickpea flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons cold butter
4 egg whites

Preheat oven 350 F line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix flours and baking powder, cut in cold butter.
Mix on high the egg whites until soft folds develop.
Gently fold the egg whites into the flour and butter mix until well mixed.
Drop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet. I got six biscuits but they could be smaller.

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
